Honors College Study Abroad

A chance to study abroad has proven to be the single most compelling and educational experience for college students. The Honors College is helping to fulfill the mission of FIU to create globally aware and sensitive citizens by offering intensive study abroad programs on three continents. Our goal is to enable every Honors student to study in another country. But most of our students can’t afford to do this. Help us help the many deserving students who could benefit from our Worlds Ahead research-oriented programs in other countries.

Staying in the Amazon, away from civilization and having very limited communication with the outside world, was an unforgettable experience, truly once in a lifetime. …But besides everything I physically experienced, it was also a time in which I was able to reflect upon many things about my life. This experience helped me grow as a person in ways I never thought before.Jenny Tovar (2010)
